Thanks for the input so far!
EasyJet pros: Higher basic, annual bonus from Y2, Slightly better fixed roster, Confirmed staff travel, more diverse route network and mix of sector length. Newer aircraft.
BAEF Pro’s: Higher pension, LH staff travel/business class cabin, possibility of fleet transfer/LH, Later starts/earlier finishes. Possibility of a Secondary role quite quickly.
It’s a difficult one… my head and bank manager says easyJet, but my heart (and if I’m honest, a little bit of ego) says BA… there’s something that stirs inside when I see that Red, White & Blue livery!
I’ve less than 15 years to go, I don’t think I’ll get another shot at BA. I’ve never had a business class cabin before, which would in theory be nice, (probably) less disruptive pax and a calmer environment. The salary/bonus at easy would allow me the option to go 75% within 2/3 years, which is appealing… Not sure I’d go to LH, but nice to have the option in future. Both are pretty nice places to work from what I’ve been told. BAEF with a slightly more smaller family feel does sound good, but with plans to double the fleet, that may reduce over time.
